A bit tangential, but I just noticed that in the Arch Linux repos, `libtiff` is version 4.0.6, but there's another package called `libtiff4`, which is version 3.9.7. I don't suppose anybody here might know the rationale behind this bizarre version/naming paradigm?
Isn't the number in the library file name a binary incompatibility counter and not necessarily related to the software version number? http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO.h...
Ah, okay, I somehow didn't realize that the trailing number referred to the number in the library file. Thanks!
